DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through 5 thereof, a new cooking device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the multiple burner cooking assembly 10 generally comprises a table 12 that is positionable on a support surface 14. The table 12 comprises a frame 16 and a plurality of legs 18 that is each coupled to and extends downwardly from the frame 16. The frame 16 comprises a plurality of first members 20 each extending a pair of second members 22. The first members 20 are spaced apart from each other and are distributed along a full length of the second members 22. The frame 16 and each of the legs 18 may be comprised of metal or other type of heat resistant material.

A plurality of burners 24 is each coupled to the table 12 to have a cooking pot positioned thereon for cooking. Each of the burners 24 is attached to the frame 16 and each of the burners 24 is positioned in a respective space 26 between a respective pair of the first members 20. Each of the burners 24 is directed upwardly on the frame 16 and each of the burners 24 has an input 28. As is most clearly shown in FIG. 2, each of the burners 24 may include a cylindrical shield 30 extending therearound to inhibit wind from blowing on the burners 24. Additionally, as is most clearly shown in FIG. 4, each of the burners 24 may include a plurality of supports 32 that are coupled to the frame 16 for supporting the cooking pot. Each of the burners 24 may comprise a propane burner of any conventional design.

A plurality of conduits 34 is each coupled to the table 12 and each of the conduits 34 is fluidly coupled to a respective one of the burners 24. The plurality of conduits 34 joins together at a common inlet 36 and each of the conduits 34 is fluidly coupled to the input 28 of a respective one of the burners 24. A plurality of supports 37 is each coupled between a respective pair of the legs 18 and the conduits 34 are coupled to a respective support 37.

A plurality of valves 38 is each fluidly coupled to a respective one of the conduits 34 and each of the valves 38 is in fluid communication with a respective one of the burners 24. Each of the valves 38 is positionable in an open condition to pass fuel to the respective burner for combustion. Conversely, each of the valves 38 is positionable in a closed condition to inhibit passing the fuel to the respective burners 24. Each of the valves 38 has a lever 40 that is movably coupled thereto for moving the valves 38 between the open condition and the closed condition. Additionally, each of the valves 38 may comprise a gas valve that is approved for use with propane fuel.

A plurality of regulators 41 is each fluidly coupled to the input 28 of a respective one of the burners 24 and each of the regulators 41 comprises a gas regulator approved for use with propane. A plurality of grates 42 is each coupled between a respective pair of the first members 20 for having an object being positioned thereon. Each of the grates 42 is positioned between a respective pair of the burners 24. Additionally, each of the grates 42 is comprised of a plurality of intersecting members 44 such that each of the grates 42 passes air therethrough. Each of the grates 42 is comprised of a heat resistant material such as steel, iron or other metallic material.

A supply hose 46 is fluidly coupled to the plurality of conduits 34 and the supply hose 46 is attachable to a fuel source 48. In this way the supply hose 46 can deliver the fuel in the fuel source 48 to the conduits 34. The supply hose 46 has a first end 50 and a second end 52, and the first end 50 is fluidly coupled to the common inlet 36 of the plurality of conduits 34. A supply regulator 54 is provided and the supply regulator 54 is fluidly coupled to the second end 52 of the supply hose 46. The supply regulator 54 engages the fuel source 48 to deliver the fuel into the supply hose 46. The supply regulator 54 may comprise a propane regulator approved for use on a liquid propane tank. Additionally, the fuel source 48 may be a liquid propane tank ranging between 20.0 pounds and 100.0 pounds.

In use, the table 12 is placed in a desired location for cooking, such as a fairground, an outdoor festival or any other occasion that would commonly see the use of gas grills, charcoal grills and other types of portable 12 cookers. The supply regulator 54 is coupled to the fuel source 48 and selected ones of the valves 38 are opened. In this way one or more of the burners 24 can be employed for cooking. Additionally, objects can be positioned on either of the grates 42 for storage without exposing the objects to heat.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
